S.N.F.U. Live


What did S.N.F.U. (more here) stand for anyway? It's pretty clear that near the beginning it was Situation Normal - all Fucked Up but the band was always cagey about its exact meaning. Sometimes you heard it meant Society's No Fucking Use or Sobriety's No Fucking Use, Stupid Name For Us or even Sally Never Fucks Us. At bare minimum that F had to be some permutation of the verb to fuck. Other than that, as the Chi says at the start of this ferocious 1985 San Diego show, the exact meaning always remained TBA.

  1. i could be wrong, but did they have an old song with the following lyric:

    "girls can be companions/girls can be your friends/they're not just a place for your sticky sperm"?

    it's been bugging me for 20 years.

  3. "Oh, Oh pick me, pick me teacher, I'm ever so smart"
    Martin

    That would be "Victims of the Womanizer", most commonly found on the "Something To Believe in" comp on BYO.
